I love the phrase "cowardly tariffs", as if an economic concept were a living being that could somehow be bold, courageous, cowardly, emotional, sensitive...
It's just a tool. Get over it.
Tariffs are not just 'an economic concept'. They are policies implemented by men. Men who are afraid of competition. Men who like a little comfort blanket in the face of the big bad world. Men, who are cowardly hiding.
If you think it's not obvious that tariffs are the economic equivalent of cowardly hiding behind mama's skirt you're wrong.
